will i5 6500 bottleneck gtx 1080 ti

Solution
I watched a video done by digital foundry about the GTX 1080tiand how it performs and scales ran through different resolutions and believe it or not the GTX 1080ti is so powerful that an i7 will even bottleneck it. I couldn't believe . The results were very fascinating. The GTX 1080ti also scales very well for 4K gaming. I wouldn't suggest using it otherwise . Then you're really bottlenecking...

I mean it really shouldn't.

I've heard from everyone that an i5 7700k is the best for gaming right now.

An i7 and above are not as good for price/performance.

So no, it shouldn't.
